Beginning with this episode, the fourth season opener, Darby Hinton gets added to the opening credits. (edit) Guest star Victor Buono is familiar to fans of Batman as the corpulent pharoah King Tut. (edit) Guest star Forrest Tucker makes his first of two appearances as river pirate Joe Snag. Tucker had just finished a two year run on F Troop. (edit)

Quaife (to Daniel): You may have outdone that petty thief, Joe Snag. Nobody outfoxes Mr. Quaife. (edit) Quaife (to Daniel and Mingo): Maybe somebody will come along and untie you. Maybe not. (edit) Daniel: Your leg bad?
Mingo: Bad enough that it may provide a new ending for my ballad. (edit) Daniel: Nothing eats quite as good as fresh caught trout.

Editor's note: Absolutely true. (edit) Daniel: Joe Snag can take our furs and gear from Quaife.
Mingo: What good would that do us?
Daniel: I haven't figured it out yet. (edit)

Nitpick: Mingo sustains a leg wound at the beginning of the episode and is forced to use a crutch to walk but by the middle of the episode both the crutch and the limp are gone. (edit)
